I'm really sorry, but the addon doesn't have such a feature. You can ask the users to enclose the link within the quotes. For example:

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36p_cd7A8Wo&t=910s"

Is there a trick to let users disable embeds when they paste a link?

Sometimes my users want the embeds and sometimes they don't.

I tried to use the "Add Link" button, I thought it would be a great way to give the users a way to specifically say "do not embed this" but alas the embed system still reads the <a> text value and create an embed.

Is there a known workaround already? If not, could you modify the "pattern_url_find" regex to not match URL already enclosed in a '<a>' tag?

Thanks!
